Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between subjective quality of life and job stress with regard to general characteristics and health characteristics of physical therapists (PTs) and occupational therapists (OTs). Methods: The study involved administering questionnaires to 93 PTs and OTs who worked in urban medical institutions between November 2009 and October 2009. A questionnaire (KvSBQOL) developed by Dunbar and colleagues and translated into Korean version by Yoon et al was used for measuring subjective quality of life. A questionnaire developed by Kim was used for measuring job stress. Results: Among PTs and OTs, the mean quality of life score was 3.10 points and the mean level of job stress was 3.42. Female PTs and OTs had significantly greater levels of job stress. Those PTs and OTs in the 'Lowest pay' group and in the 'Associated Degree' group reported the lowest quality of life. Those in the 'Very healthy' group of PTs and OTs had significantly lower job stress than the other groups. The group with the highest job stress had the lowest quality of life. A limitation of this study was that all data was self-reported and subject to associated bias. Conclusion: To prevent loss of business services by PTs and OTs, it is important to know how job stress affects quality of life. Our findings suggest that a reduction in job stress can improve quality of life among PTs and OTs.

Broadcast-telecommunication bundling services provide customized services and reduce household telecommunication costs, contributing to the improvement of users' welfare. However, following the recent fierce competition of broadcast-telecommunication providers, the Korea Communications Commission, an organization that regulates promotional gifts and fee-reduction benefits to attract subscribers, has imposed a series of regulations. The excessive offering of promotional gifts can distort fair market competition and damage users. Yet if all bundling services are regulated uniformly, some benefits for users may be reduced, and the autonomous marketing competition of service providers may be restricted, thereby shrinking the entire communications market. Therefore, this study attempts to investigate domestic and foreign regulations on promotional gifts and other offerings related to broadcast-telecommunication bundling services, to analyze problems with respect to the current regulations and to propose an improvement plan. The study asserts that it is necessary to improve the violation decision criteria of the Korea Communications Commission and its regulations on broadcast-telecommunication service providers' promotional gifts in order to regulate the bundling services reasonably. In addition, it proposes a proper regulation of the OTS(Olleh TV Skylife) product, a new service emerging in the evolution of the bundling service type.

최근 네트워크 사용자들이 네트워크를 사용하는 방식이나 가치의 변화를 살펴보면 간단한 웹 정보와 같은 단방향 정보만을 제공받는 형태에서 자유로운 이동성을 기반으로 보안과 개인화가 보장된 대용량 정보 전송 형태로 바뀌고 있다. 이처럼 다양한 요구사항들의 변화에 따라 개별적으로 서비스를 제공하던 형태에서 하나의 형태로 통합되는 추세에 있다. 아울러 네트워크 또한 개별적인 네트워크를 통합하는 형태로 발전하고 있으며 이러한 여러 네트워크를 통합적으로 제어할 수 있는 네트워크 제어 기술이 핵심 요소로 등장하였다. 이러한 사용자들의 요구사항을 반영하여 차세대 네트워크는 WDM/IP 전송기술을 기반으로 동적 재구성을 지원하는 다계층 네트워크가 대세를 이루고 있다. 이처럼 패킷-광전달 시스템(P-OTS)은 SONET/SDH와 Ethernet, DWDM, OTN, 그리고 ROADM과 같은 기술들을 통합한 플랫폼이라고 할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 다계층 광 네트워크 제어 시스템에서 PCE 기반 광 및 패킷전달계층 경로계산엔진 알고리즘을 제안하였다.

In recent years, ubiquitous and pervasive scenarios have emerged as a complex ecosystem where differentiated software/hardware components interoperate wirelessly and seamlessly. The goal is to enable users to continuously access services and contents, and to always get the best out of their current environment and available resources. In such dynamic and flexible scenarios, the need emerges for flexible and general solutions for continuous runtime self-reconfiguration and self-optimization of ubiquitous support software systems. This paper proposes a fully reconfigurable middleware approach that aims at reconfiguring complex software systems made up of heterogeneous off-the-shelf components from both functional and non-functional perspectives. Our middleware can also extend already existing and non-reconfigurable middleware/applications in an easy and flexible way, with no need to re-design them. The proposed design principles have been practically applied to the implementation of a runtime self-reconfigurable middleware called Off-The-Shelf Ready To Go (OTS-RTG), implemented on top of iPOJO. The reported experimental results both exhibit a limited overhead and show the wide applicability of the proposed solution to many application scenarios, including complex, industrial, Enterprise Service Bus-based ones.

데이터 트래픽의 증가와 대용량 실시간 서비스와 관련된 요구사항들의 증가는 음성이나 전용선 서비스를 주된 목적으로 하는 기존의 시간분할 다중화(TDM: Time Division Multiplexing) 기반 네트워크에서 좀 더 유연하고 동적인 구성이 가능한 광 네트워크로의 전환을 요구하고 있다. 이러한 광 네트워크는 데이터, 비디오, 그리고 음성을 전달할 수 있는 다수의 채널을 제공하는 핵심 인프라가 되었다. 이를 위해 차세대 패킷광 통합망은 네트워크 이상이 발생하여도 용인할 수 있는 수준의 서비스를 지속적으로 제공할 수 있어야 한다. 또한 신속하고 최적화된 복구(restoration) 정책은 GMPLS(Generalized Multi-Protocol Label Switching) 기반 제어평면을 사용으로 하는 차세대 패킷광 통합망의 가장 중요한 요구사항이 되었다. 본 논문은 GMPLS 기반 다계층 패킷광 통합망에서 신속하고 일원화된 복구를 지원하기 위한 계층적인 다계층 복구방식을 살펴보고 이를 지원하기 위한 구현방식을 제안하는 것을 목적으로 하고 있다. 또한 본 논문에서는 기존의 신호 및 라우팅 프로토콜을 수정하지 않고 제안한 방식을 구현할 수 있는 방안의 제안을 목적으로 하고 있다.
